Samsung officially presented its virtual reality platform in 2015, with the help of Gear VR, glasses that simulate a virtual reality environment using a company smartphone. In 2016 they released a new version. From that date little or nothing else we have learned again.
Google, for its part, entered virtual reality a year later, launching Daydream, a platform compatible with high-end Android models. But as with Samsung, we have learned little else on the subject, at least until today. The latest update of the Samsung terminals to Android 10 is presented incompatibility issues.
According to different sources, Samsung smartphones that have been updated to Android 10 with the One UI 2.0 customization layer or higher, are no longer compatible with the Daydream platform of Google. Before the release of this update, smartphones that are now not compatible now, if they were compatible and worked without any problem with the Daydream glasses and platform. If you are one of those users who opted for the Google solution through Daydream and have not yet updated, it would be convenient for you to consider whether it is worth maintaining compatibility or keeping your smartphone protected.
While the Samsung models updated to Android 10 with the One UI 2.0 customization layer are no longer compatible, the Google Pixel models with the same version of Android, continue to work without any problem, so everything seems to indicate what something has broken in the Samsung customization layer with the latest update.
Either it's broken or Samsung they want to get rid of this virtual reality platform how little success it has had among users. Samsung's Gear RV has not been officially available for sale for a long time (like Google's Daydream), glasses that were developed in collaboration with Oculus, a platform that has stopped offering applications to take advantage of reality glasses Samsung virtual.
